Paris, NFAPost: Dassault Aviation is proud to present its dual civil/military know-how to professionals and the general public at the Paris Air Show, the 54th edition of which will be held at Paris-Le Bourget airport from June 19 to 25, 2023.
Dassault Aviation will be present in hall 2A, stand A251, displaying models of our aircraft under a giant video screen. A “Rafale Experience” area will enable visitors to experience a flight in virtual reality.
The static display (row A – no. 7) will showcase the Rafale, Falcon 8X, 6X and 2000LXS, as well as full-scale models of the NGF and the Falcon 10X cabin. The Falcons presented at the show will fly with blends containing 30% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF); our Falcons will be able to fly with 50% blends as soon as they become available; the 10X will be the first 100%-compatible Falcon.
The static display will also feature a building dedicated to our collaborative air combat solutions and customer support services.
The Rafale will be demonstrated in flight by the French Air and Space Force, and the Falcon 6X by our test pilots.
Dassault Aviation will be taking part in the 5th edition of “L’Avion des Métiers” (Careers Plane) and in the “L’Aéro recrute” recruitment operation; an HR reception desk will be permanently available on our stand.
People interested in aeronautical professions will be able to attend demonstrations and directly consider career opportunities with our engineers, technicians, master craftsmen and HR managers.
In 2023, Dassault Aviation will be recruiting 1,000 employees in all fields: design, production, support, digital, etc.
The company will also be present at the Paris Air Lab, an exploration area dedicated to innovation, where its specialists will be exhibiting work relating to decarbonized air transport and 4.0 production methods.
Dassault Aviation Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier said this 54th Paris Air Show will illustrate how the company is looking to the future of its two main activities: military aviation, which defends the country and its allies, and contributes to France’s sovereignty and Europe’s strategic autonomy; and business aviation, which connects companies with ever greater efficiency, safety and control of its environmental footprint, thanks in particular to SAF.
He also said Le Bourget is also the place to celebrate the remarkable passion for aeronautics shown by the French people for over a century.
